GetTitleBarInfo function user32.dll Windows API

[Igottabanana]

Hi guys,

I've a proble with some Windows API functions.(GetTitleBarInfo for example).This function needs parameter a struct pointer that than allows me to get the tiitle bar name.Ok ,but How i can handle a struct point?In Reference guide says to treat Pointer as integer but i not understand how do to reach my purpose.

Thanks,

Luca.

Are you trying to get the title bar of a LabVIEW window? You do not need to use the Windows API for that. The Front Panel Window:Title Property will tell you that.

Hi sMercurio,thanks for the fast answer.

No,my purpose is to get the window title bar of other application running.

For most things Windows API related I suggest the following document:

In this case you just need to construct the proper cluster to get the info:

Cool,it is what i want to find.Thank you very much.Only one thing: when you set argument and parameter function in dialog box relative to API nodenin labview,which data type use to represent a pointer to struct?

For a pointer to a structure you need to set the parameter to Adapt To Type and make sure to construct a cluster that matches the structure exactly. Some C programming knowledge is definitely helpful and for more complex structures really unavoidable.
